I'm proud of myself for resisting. had they gotten an Inca Gold or J105 I would have not been so strong. LoL. that Rhonda is a nice one.

Ha! I was proud of myself for resisting the last batch but when you told me about Rhonda I caved. Laugh.
Of course reading about Melody's strong floral scent doesn't help my addiction. ;)

Man, does it sure sound like Texas got the better stuff than we did in Ventura/Oxnard ca. roxanne

Way to go Robert! You finallly got Rhonda! I'm going to see if JJ has a 5 Gal for me... so I can get another one. LOL. She totally is still one of my all time favorite.

In case you forgot what she looked like last year.

Firing on all cylinders.

Oh what the heck, here is another photo of Rhonda.

Enjoy her!

Thanks, Roxanne! We're in OK but we border TX. ;)

Lynn,

Your pics are gorgeous. Thanks for sharing them!
Looking forward to sniffing them hopefully all summer. :)

-Robert

She's a generous bloomer... mine lasted all the way to November! So hopefully yours will too. :)

LOL! I was going to say ya`ll ain`t in Texas. Our local nursery got some JJ but not a big selection and expensive. 1 gallon pots $29.99 to $49.99 and 5 gallon pots for $139.99, most just generic labels,ie; white/yellow, red. I picked up Alexandria for $29.99 and used a 15% off coupon.
Tally HO!

Sorry...just saw the T and assumed the big state....some of those you named were ones I ordered from him in early August...still waiting for Rhonda to leaf out....roxanne

Good to see JJ is becoming more and more available!

Roxanne,

Do you like Rhonda's scent? You know I'm all about scent. Laugh.

-Robert

Robert..I am still waiting for it to leaf out...BUT, I did order ROXY (my nick name) from him and it is going gang busters with an inflo that grows more each day. Such an exciting time of year....roxanne

Roxy, Sorry. Thought you had it from last year. :)

Great name for a plumie and you're right! It is a very exciting time of the year. I've noticed inflos on my California Sunset, Inca Gold, Celadine and I think my Bangkok Fire aka Daeng Maha Choke is pushing one! Woo hoo!

"Help me Rhonda
Help, help me Rhonda"

She is a pretty one

Mike

Wow Rhonda is beautiful. :) Wish I could find her locally, but its just the usual varieties.

Musa,

Come to JJ's Open House in July. I'm sure he will have some blooming Rhondas by then.

What I love about plumerias, scent aside is how different the same flowers look depending on heat and humidity. Photos are of the same plant at different time last summer.

Rhonda is gorgeous.
Even in the same garden in the same year plumeria can vary so greatly in the coloring of the blooms. It`s always a surprise.
Tally Ho!
